ABC Auto Shipping is based in Irvine, so Los Angeles is our home market.

No deposit to book.

Auto Transport in Los Angeles, CA

LA is one of the busiest car shipping origins in the country. More cars leave Southern California than arrive, so trucks heading east on I-10, I-15 and I-40 are often looking for loads, which can work in your favor on price.

Getting a car carrier to your door is the local challenge. Hillside streets in Silver Lake, permit-parking blocks in West Hollywood and Santa Monica, and apartment garages in Koreatown are hard for a 75-foot truck. We plan a safe meeting point with you before the day, so pickup takes minutes, not an hour.

We hold federal broker authority (USDOT #2340626, MC #797279) and an A+ BBB rating, and we never ask for a deposit.

Los Angeles Car Shipping FAQs

What is the price to ship a car out of LA?

It depends on distance, vehicle size, open or enclosed transport and season. Because many trucks leave LA heading east, outbound rates are often competitive. Request a quote for your route.

Phoenix and Las Vegas usually take 1 to 3 days after pickup, Texas 3 to 5 days, and the East Coast 7 to 10 days.

Not necessarily you, but an adult you choose has to meet the driver, hand over the keys and sign the condition report.

Yes. We use enclosed carriers, with liftgates for low cars.

Yes, along with the South Bay, the Westside, Orange County and Ventura County.

Usually just your keys, ID and the address details. Keep your registration in the car or with you.

By the carrier’s cargo policy. We check it is in force before the carrier is confirmed.

A small amount in the trunk is usually allowed but is not insured. Remove valuables and toll transponders.

California asks new residents to register their vehicle within 20 days. A smog check is usually required, so plan for it after delivery.

Open is fine for most daily drivers. Choose enclosed for high-value, classic or low cars.
